Feature:
Amazing features. 8 Pressure sensitive rubber pads taken from the trigger finger. they feel perfect for drums and give a perfect bounce feel to them. The transport bar is great to use with my DAW, and it allows me to control the basics. The Keys feel perfect, and have a piano type feel to them. The curves are just right and make the dynamics feel warm on most soft synths.
Quality:
Feels very solid and will last a lifetime.
Value:
Super value, its comes with pads, transport, pots and nice semi weighted keys for playing authentic instruments.
Desirability:
Looks very slick, and its has a very nice blue lcd screen.
Sound:
No sounds, but it can be used to shape sounds with the modulation wheel, which is great and very effective.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to setup, and works great out the box.
Support:
Im not a fan of M Audio support, its a hit and miss.
Overall:
Better than any other midi controller in the market right now. I like my 25 keys for idea sketches and laying down quik midi passages, and move to my other 61 note keyboard for main studio work.

Feature:
I have to rate this a 10 again because it lacks nothing. I was pleased to have a CV (continuous voltage) input for volume control, as well as, a sustain input. The range suits my needs with 2 octaves. If that's a problem there are other models with more keys. I have to take a point off for not including Sonar as a template. Maybe down the line. Not sure if it's a Twelve Tones or M-Audio issue. Also, why not drivers for Win2000? I use it with Win2000 and it works fine. Waiting to discover any driver issues, none, so far. USB 1.1? Why? Maybe because it's only midi.
Quality:
This thing is solid. I like it. Pads are tough. It can take some abuse.
Value:
A little high but okay considering the product.
Desirability:
Perfect resource on the go with my laptop (Windows XP) and in my home studio (Windows 2000).
Sound:
Well...it's a controller. No sound. The action is nice and the pads are touch sensitive. Nice action as well. Triggered Reaktor, Yamaha Motif and Virtual DJ from Atomix with it.
Ease of Use:
Easily configured and saved the configuration to PC using Enigma. Used with Reaktor, mapped the controllers accordingly. It's easy if you're used to manipulating MIDI parameters. After a brief learning curve, it's flexible but basic if you are a programmer.
Support:
No experience with this product, yet. However, M-Audio has been favorable for me in the past.
Overall:
My only complaints are the ones above regarding support for Sonar and Win2k drivers. Otherwise, in it's class, the best choice.
